Mission West Properties Announces Second Quarter 2012 Operating Results

Cupertino, CA – Mission West Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSW) reported today that Funds From Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $12,153,000, or $0.11 per diluted common share, (considering the potential effect of all O.P. units being exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock) as compared to approximately $13,708,000, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower tenant reimbursement income and higher operating and general and administrative expenses. On a sequential quarter basis, FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, was approximately $0.13 per diluted common share. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, FFO decreased to $26,303,000, or $0.25 per diluted common share, from FFO of $29,950,000, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $13,709,000 as compared to approximately $7,370,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Net income per diluted share available to common stockholders was approximately $0.12 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0.08 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a per share increase of approximately 50%. The increase was primarily due to gains from sale of real estate, which accounted for approximately $0.06 per diluted share. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was approximately $26,962,000 as compared to approximately $17,305,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net income per diluted share available to common stockholders was $0.24, up from $0.19 a year ago, a per share increase of approximately 26%.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) to measure and compare operating performance. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the Company’s operating and financial performance because when compared year over year, it reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that FFO provides useful information about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. FFO should neither be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability nor is it comparable to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define them exactly as we define FFO.
